The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Ive played this for 10 minutes and am now hopelessly drawn into it.
I've always loved raptors, and I've always loved physics-based games. And I also always loved snaring things with spiked orbs hanging out of vehicles. I feel like the creators made this game with me in mind.
I hope this gets picked up by Steam and subsequently becomes as famous as CoD4.
Guys, guys. I found a new favorite trick. Speed full-on toward a raptor with your spiked ball out, then when you approach make a hard turn and release the ball. If you do it correctly the ball goes flying, smashes into the raptor and they go flying off together into the sunset.
(Also apparently Firefox doesn't recognize 'raptor' as a word)
Quick tip for when you've got two raptors on a ball/pteranodon: smack a couple crates into the transmitter before you put the dinosaurs on so you get a good multiplier first.
I wonder if you can catch like 10 raptors on the back of your jeep by catching two, releasing the ball from your jeep (it stays embedded in the raptors), and then grabbing one of the two and hooking another over and over.
I managed to get a score of ~500,000 by just doing stunts and orbs yesterday.
It makes me sad how poorly this game runs for me. I've tried a handful of browsers but it just doesn't want co-operate. My computer/internet is no slouch either. I wish it was just a downloadable game so I could enjoy it to its fullest.

I think the jeep lacks enough power to move that much meat at once, but yes, they will stay connected. The most I could carry was four on a chain and one on my hood that I managed to keep on. The jeep was seriously draggin...
I've been having problems playing on my Macbook. I'm going to try it on my desktop.
May want to updated the OP with the news: They are toying with the idea of a download release. I'm going to assume this will perform better. I know someone from there posted here so hopefully if we keep up asking (I was thinking of emailing but I don't want to annoy the shit out of them) they will release it for download sooner than later.

you can attempt this, but be warned. i have noticed the game tracks *at most* 3 balls. also, more often then not, if i have 2+ on a haul, the 2nd ball will vanish and the third raptor will fall off.
also, be aware that hucking your raptors into the teleporter will provide far more Xbonus. so push a crate or two in, then throw your raptors in. (i like to make a small pile nearby for easy chuckin') this gets your multiplier to XTEXAS
Pieces of your jeep can apparently be used as projectiles. I rammed a raptor, which caused my hood to go flying and take out another raptor that was 30 feet in front of me. The score just said "Killed".

Are there references to Raptor Jesus in this game?
Also there should be a single utahraptor that attempts to argue with you and dissuade you from your carnage.
I've discovered the best way to rack up points, though it can be a bit tricky: there's one collector that has a nice ramp facing it. You just grab two raptors, and jump that ramp. Immediately after you hit the ramp (and boost, of course), you let go. If you did it right (and it's not easy: those raptors go flying all over the place as you're dragging them), they'll both hit the collector and you'll get about 300,000 points for the pair of them, between exports and 30-meter tosses. It's fantastic.

much simpler and get more points - kill all raptors near a point (around 5) and deposit the corpses near the point, and begin to fling them into it for massive Xtexas points. the flinging - more x and the easy access means your combo doesn't deplete
I tried scoring 0 points to see how many entries there were on the high score table. When the timer ran out, the game gave me 50 points. The score event was called "A for Effort".
I have one more orb left before I get the OCD achievement. I've been driving around for about 40 minutes and I haven't been able to locate it. It's driving me crazy... I've gotten to the point where I'll ignore everything else in the game just to search for it.

Yeah, I totally ricocheted the ball off of two canyon walls and nailed that raptor on purpose

It gets you 3 grand when exported.
there are at least two. not sure if there are more, there is a lot of terrain i still haven't explored
edit- i found a third, but it's behind the "walls" of the game.
Edit: Aw man. I just realized that it's daily. Oh well. At least I get to feel special for 24 hours.

Just killing one gets you 112,000 points and exporting it gets you another 112,000 points.

And then you kill it.

that is a very good thing.

Glorious.
Check out this Jetpack Brontosaurus tech demo.
"The only truely (sic) next game" indeed. omfg you can see the skeleton.
I never asked for this!
or bestest dev team
edit: because dammit I really liked that music.
The song is "Warm Hands in Cold Fog" off the album "Soundtrack To A Vacant Life"
It (and pretty much everything he has done) is excellent
That tunnel run reminded me a lot of Pilot Wings 64, only I'm flying a Brontosaurus.
